The soap opera All My Children celebrates its 40th anniversary on January 5, and no character has impacted the landscape in Pine Valley, the town where the soap is set, quite like Bianca Montgomery, played by Daytime Emmy Award-winning actress Eden Riegel. Through multiple stints in the last nine years, heroine Bianca has been beset with such emotional turmoil as coming out to a less-than-supportive mother (Erica Kane, played by Susan Lucci), repairing a relationship with her sibling, being raped and raising the rapist’s baby, and falling in love numerous times (the last of which resulted in soaps’ first gay marriage, see our 2009 timeline).
Riegel is now based in Los Angeles and is hoping to continue production on her YouTube comedy series Imaginary Bitches, in which a woman escapes from the reality that her close friends are all getting married by making up imaginary friends, only to realize that they’re “total bitches.” On a busy week just before Christmas, Riegel managed to sit down and talk with OMG! about her role on All My Children, which made her a gay icon, and what she plans to do with her comedic talents in 2010.
